Highways

Bedford Borough Council is responsible for the improvement, maintenance and development of the public highway network within the Borough, excluding the A1, the A421 and the A428 (from the A1 to the County boundary) which are Trunk Roads and are therefore the responsibility of the Highways Agency.

Not all roads are public highways; some are privately owned and may have special conditions attached to their use.
